"Fiesta!" Dallas Wind Symphony/Howard Dunn/ Reference Recordings
Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging.
I am looking for some recommendations of some albums recorded for true imaging. By that I mean a group of people playing acoustic instruments recorded
old school
with just two microphones. Not songs mixed from multiple tracks and balanced to give the impression they are playing in the center. I have recently been relistening to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will the Circle be Unbroken". This is a raw recording where they found the best bluegrass and early county artists, sat them down in a studio, took one take, and (probably) recording them with just 2 microphones for stereo. No mixing and minimal processing. What they played in the room is exactly what you hear. The results for imaging is all I can say is wow. Even with a half decent system you can close your eyes and tell where ever instrument is playing from and where they are standing. And it is the first time I finally understood the phrase " the speakers disappear".
While my main preference is 70's progressive rock I don't think I will find it there. But Jazz, Bluegrass, Blues or Classical would be good. Any suggestions.
